General Business Counsel
​
As our federal, state, and local laws have become more complicated and robust than ever before, owning a business often feels more like a minefield than a way to generate revenue. On top of working on the actual product or service that your company offers, business owners have to consider problems that frequently arise as a business grows and matures:
​
-
An employee is consistently causing problems at the workplace, but the company is worried about a potential lawsuit.
-
A vendor has not paid on its contract in three months, but the company does not want to damage what has been an otherwise fruitful relationship.
-
An owner is considering leaving the company, and the company must protects its trade secrets and intellectual property.
-
A customer is threatening to sue your company after a dissatisfying experience.
​

Business and Commercial Litigation
​
Operating a business often inevitably leads to disputes, both internal and external. This is unfortunately true even when the business owner takes every conceivable step to mitigate its risk. But nevertheless, businesses inevitably face litigation involving:
​
-
Disgruntled employees;
-
Vendors and suppliers breaching contracts;
-
Owners attempting to sue or leave the company;
-
Alleged federal and state law violations.
​
These disputes often involve a tangled web of state and federal law that can quickly allow a case to spiral out of control if the proper steps are not taken from the case's outset. Attorney Buente has a breadth of civil litigation experience that allows him to cut to the chase and accomplish the company's goals in prosecuting or defending the litigation. Sometimes this means fighting the allegations tooth and nail, while other times it means getting the matter settled quickly and amicably. As always, Attorney Buente collaborates with the client to make sure that the company's goals are being accomplished.

Entity Formation
​
As a business owner himself, Attorney Buente understands the many questions that business owners and executives must resolve from the very outset of starting a business:
​

What type of business entity should we select? Sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, or corporation?

Would a certain entity provide more tax, voting, or ownership flexibility?
-
How should we divide ownership?
-
How will our company resolve disagreements?
-
How can we structure our company to give us the flexibility we need 5, 10, or even 25 years from now?
​
These are all important questions to answer at the outset of starting your business, and Attorney Adam V. Buente can assist you in answering these questions so your business gets off on the right foot.
